In the 19th century, the forest was haunted by the spirit of a woman dressed in black. Anyone who managed to catch a glimpse of her soon lost a child, or in the event of not having children, the child of their closest relative would be lost. It was not until this woman's own son's body was removed from his swampy grave and properly laid to rest that she left the forest, but not before murdering the unfortunate soul who recovered her son's body.
